When I came out of the hospital, it rained, the cold wind was sluggish, and the drizzle was like a knife.

Yuqing came in a hurry, did not bring Xiuhe and Yanzi, so that there was no oil-paper umbrella, she walked expressionlessly on the way back to the palace, a gust of wind hit, it seemed to sweep away the only temperature of her body, Yuqing couldn't help but shudder, as if she came back to her senses and raised her hands and took a breath, muttering in her mouth, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again.........

The Forbidden City in autumn is really deserted.

On the way back to the palace, passing through the Imperial Garden, her favorite peony has long become an empty branch, and the others, yellow and yellow, falling, a depressed and lonely scene, like her current situation.

Yuqing braved the rain and stepped into the peony bush, looked at it for a long time, and chose a dry branch, but she was already lacking in skills, but she carefully put it in her sleeve like a treasure and took it away.

People can't help themselves, and flowers can't help spring. Yuqing couldn't understand why she had such a disease...

After walking for a long time, I finally saw the shadow of Yong'an Palace, and I was trotting in front of Xiuhe Tongyanzi, who was anxious like ants in a hot pot.

Xiuhe: "Master, where have you been?" Let the slaves and maids be easy to find! It's raining, what's the matter?! ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly helped Yuqing back to the house.

Yan Zi was already crying lowly on the side, as if he was accusing Yuqing of her inexplicable disappearance.

Yuqing: "I went to the Tai Hospital, and I was in a hurry, which made you worry, is it mine." ”

Xiuhe: "The master is serious, first change out of wet clothes, take a hot bath, I asked Yan Zi to prepare hot water and ginger soup for you." ”

Yuqing was like an obedient female doll, letting Xiuhe and a few maids get up and down and help them into the hot water bucket.

Xiuhe poured hot water and admonished: "Master, next time, you must not go out alone, not to mention that you are still grounded......"

Yuqing closed her eyes and muttered: "It's okay, what else can happen in the palace?" I'm just careful not to be discovered. ”

Xiuhe saw that Yuqing didn't know what to do, and jumped to his feet in a hurry: "Master, don't you know how powerful this deep palace is?" If you don't agree to the slave today, the slave will kneel here and never get up again! ”

After that, she really knelt on the ground with a pop, Yuqing was stunned, she didn't know, after suffering so many losses, she had already understood that this deep palace was a place where people eat people and didn't spit out bones, and in it, there was nothing to be done, so like this, there were just some nostalgia that was difficult to give up, such as the emperor Xuanhe.

Thinking of this name, Yuqing's nose was sour, and she tried her best to calm her tone and said, "Xiuhe, I promise you." ”

It was dark, Yuqing sent Xiuhe to send a sesame moon cake prepared in the small kitchen to Xuanhe, and today there was a banquet in the palace, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the retainers celebrated. He should be listening to the Nanqu opera troupe at the moment, drinking his aged daughter Hong, getting drunk in the arms of Concubine Yijia, or joking about mulberry hemp with his newly acquired jade nobles.

Yuqing is used to it, but she still has a trace of expectation, he said that every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will enjoy the moon with her, drink tea, and taste the new moon cakes she invented. This year she made sesame filling.

Not long after, Xiuhe returned to the palace in the moonlight, but there were a few more palm prints on his face and his eyes were red.

came along, as well as Grandpa Yao.

Father-in-law Yao is a eunuch who has taken care of Xuanhe since he was a child, and now he is sixty years old, Yuqing has known him for nine years, Yu Xuanhe, Yu Yuqing, are all elder-like existences.

Father-in-law Yao handed over the food box and said very respectfully: "Niangniang, the emperor ordered the slave to bring a box of rose mooncakes, which was made by the jade nobleman in Jiangnan a few days ago, and the only one, the emperor asked the slave to bring the maid to you to try it." ”

Yuqing smiled embarrassedly and asked Yan Zi to take it aside, "There is Lao Yao's father-in-law, who is far away, you can usually take care of him, and you don't need to come to me to do these errands." ”

Father-in-law Yao said with a smile: "Back to Niangniang, a slave is a slave, whatever the emperor tells the slave to do, what the slaves have to do is to please the master and share the worries for the master, this is the way of the deep palace." ”

Yuqing couldn't laugh anymore, and the corners of her mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness.

The way of the deep palace is really difficult.

Father-in-law Yao looked at Yuqing's stubborn appearance, knowing that she would not understand this truth, sighed deeply, said some Mid-Autumn Festival blessings and left.

After Yao's father-in-law left, Yuqing locked herself in the house and guarded the box of rose mooncakes motionless.

She knew that there was something in Grandpa Yao's words, and she also knew that the palm prints on Xiuhe's face were still red, but she couldn't do anything...

For the first nine years, there were two people around this table,

In the first eight years, this table began to be filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients, Xuanhe sat on the side to review the chapters, and Yuqing held the recipes to study the ingredients.

In the first three years, Yuqing couldn't find the fillings that could be wrapped in moon cakes, Xuan and Shen still reviewed the chapters tirelessly, Yuqing leaned on his arms and muttered that there will be a year when he will never be able to make unique moon cakes again, what should I do then?

Xuanhe said: "Then let others make it for the two of us to eat!" ”

Now, it really is.

Yuqing looked at this food box, suddenly blood surged, coughing face flushed, she took out a handkerchief to cover her lips as a matter of course, and waited for this heart-rending cough to pass, for a long time, she slowly eased up, naturally wiped off the scarlet missing from the corners of her mouth, and then threw the handkerchief into the stove, and suddenly, the old high of the fire strings in the stove, after a while, the hand towel was burned clean, as if nothing had happened, and the fire returned to calm.

Yuqing finally ate a rose moon cake, and tasted what was new to see at the end, and she liked it so much. Yuqing thought in a trance.

She had a fever, and the sweetness of the moon cake made her throat even more uncomfortable, Yuqing fell on the bed, half-squinting, as if she saw the moon outside the window was round and beautiful, the cold moon was in the sky, and her lover was beside her.........

Xuanhe changed three years ago.

Even Yan Zi's arrogant temperament can be seen, how could Yuqing not notice it.

It's just that he is the emperor, and the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards are ordinary, Yuqing can only turn a blind eye, she doesn't care, but she holds the position of the queen, she is not qualified to say.

The most unqualified person in the world is her.

The emperor is no longer a fifteen-year-old prince, and Yuqing is no longer a ten-year-old orphan girl, and they are no longer the impulsive and passionate so-called love of their youth. The adult world is always mixed with too many interests and trade-offs.

Yuqing lied to herself, she couldn't see the show girls who entered the palace every year, she couldn't hear the will to announce the title from time to time, she couldn't feel his absent-minded gaze, and she said that it was all an excuse for the royal family.

Until three months ago, his beloved Concubine Yijia had a miscarriage in her palace, and the maids under her hand said one after another that they saw the queen push her, Yuqing felt ridiculous at the time, and was about to argue, but she was caught off guard by a slap in the face.

He believed, and there was a monstrous fire in those eyes.

Without questioning or justification, Yuqing was directly removed from the position of queen, demoted to a concubine, and confined to this Yong'an Palace for more than three months.

They used to love each other so much, and now they have fallen into this way...... Yuqing didn't understand, they obviously swore to God with their lives to love each other forever. Why didn't he believe in himself...

Yuqing slept very unsteadily, until Xiuhe woke her up in the afternoon, she was still talking in a cold sweat and vaguely talking in her dreams, Xiuhe said, I could vaguely hear that she was shouting the emperor's name.

Yuqing woke up and coughed for a long time, Yan Zi happily ran in to say that there was good news, Yuqing trembled in her heart, but her hope was disappointed again, but Ouyang Lianyi, the director of the Tai Hospital, came to ask for a pulse, and said that it was easy to get cold after the autumn, so he said to the emperor that he wanted to invite the pulse of all the nobles in the harem, just in case. Xuanhe agreed, he walked around the harem early in the morning, and at noon, it was finally Yuqing's turn.

Yuqing knew that he must have gone through a lot of trouble.

After the ceremony, Ouyang Lianyi came in with a medicine box. He was still the same, his right foot was a little sloping, he walked up and down, and the medical officer's uniform was a little deep, which seemed to be a little too old, but in fact he was only a year older than her.

Ouyang Lianyi entered the door and saluted Yuqing, Yuqing smiled and dismissed a few maids, leaving Xiuhe alone. Xiuhe glanced at Yan Zi, Yan Zi went out in understanding, closed the door and stood guard at the door.

Ouyang Lianyi: "Come with me, I recently learned that there is a miracle medicine in the Northland that can cure your illness." ”

Ouyang Lianyi said as he opened the box.

Yuqing didn't say anything.

After a long time, she said slowly: "I can't go, you know, I haven't left Xuanhe since I was ten years old." ”

"Not to mention whether the medicine is really effective, the north is far away, if I leave this trip, I'm afraid I won't see him again."

"And recently I vomited less blood, and occasionally there were only one or two drops on the hand towel, but it burned a little harder, and I dreamed back at midnight yesterday, as if I saw Xuanhe to accompany me again."

Ouyang Lianyi paused with the hand of the silver needle, he had cured countless patients in his life, but only the people around him left him one by one due to illness, father, brother, and now, she has been added. He couldn't do anything but watch, as it had been and still was.

Yesterday, Yuqing came to him, and he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, he panicked and couldn't sleep all night.

Ouyang Lianyi said earnestly word by word with Yuqing's pulse: "I have only one relative in this world, and I am also your only relative, so you can't die." As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will do my best, even if I exchange my life for yours, I will still do it. ”

Yuqing giggled, laughing at this stupid person, after so many years, he still spoke so out of tune.

Swapping life for life, he came up with what he thought of.

Ouyang Lianyi prescribed a few more medicines, and told him a lot, not to think too much, not to eat wine, not to blow the wind, not to .........

Yuqing responded to everything,

Ouyang Lianyi put away the medicine box, and still asked without giving up, "Come with me to the Northland, I know you are not happy here, if you go, I will take you away tomorrow." ”

Yuqing stopped smiling, and her tone became extremely light, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the end of the world, how long can you take me away?" ”

Lian Yi didn't say anything again, this sentence was like hitting his death hole in one fell swoop, yes, in the face of imperial power, he was like an ant.

Yuqing was a little unbearable, swallowed her saliva and said, "I'll think about it again, if I want to leave one day, I will definitely go to you." ”

Lian Yi's eyes lit up again when he heard this, and when he left, he insisted on handing over the peace charm he had brought for twenty-one years to Yuqing, and hung it around her neck with his own hands.

Yuqing was a little surprised: "This is what your mother asked for for you......"

Lian Yi pressed her shoulder: "I only have one thought now, you must live, no matter what." ”
